David Aldridge leaving TNT for The Athletic

[MikelArteta]

I couldn't see myself signing up for a subscription based sports service

I used to have ESPN insider and would just read it at twork

Who the hell is funding the athletic? There getting all the top notch people

We know what theyre trying to do, but the power of the click bait title is number one.

Well yeah they aren't going to change things right away. But over time as more and more people get tired of clickbait they'll realize subscribing to The Athletic is a good option. It's an interesting project and they been putting a lot of money into it, maybe they'll be able to carve out a real niche in the sports journalism game

Considering I had a team of writers, some from this site, and did the same years ago, I feel sort of burnt by sports readers today. They like bullshyt.

Really interested to see what all this looks like 5 years from now, The Athletic spending like crazy

Hopefully it bombs , not paying for no damn subscription service
